As we approach our first NCEA internal, senior art students have the opportunity to choose their own themes/kaupapas as a way to develop complex ways of thinking in relation to the meaning(s) behind art.
This year I will be focusing on the practise of unethical human experimentation as my Kaupapa. I've chosen this theme because it is something I feel really strongly about but can also be approached from many different perspectives.
The media I will work with is paint and design.
From List one, I chose Shane Cotton and Rachel Rakena.
From List two, I chose Vincent Van Gogh and Jacob Yikes.
For assessments 1.2 and 1.4 the artist I am interested in is Katsushika Hokusai.
